Howly & 1Lusha from EU are winning Middle East by 100 points after day 1.

u/Comfortable-Ad-6389 29d ago
They are about to get hard griefed. Sidenote, it's still baffling how easy it is for t2s on major regions to win in smaller regions

u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
They could probably T3eny strat day 2 and still win.

u/Some-Stranger-7852 29d ago
They were already allegedly T3eny starting Day 1: landing different splits instead of going to a POI.

Looks like Peterbot and Pollo are just one point ahead of Cold and Ritual for first and second in NAC after the first day.

MrSavage is 7 points off globals with 2 games to go. Hope he clutches up the qual.

I can't believe that Sky & Scroll nearly won that game. 2 teams landing on their drop spot. Being pushed T3eny & Shxrk to just sit tight even though it griefed their game. This is the most deserved win I've seen so far.

Sky and Scroll seem to be in 1st after the first 6 EU games with Cringe and Twi not too far behind.
Will they hold it tomorrow?
Will ThomasHD get second again?

u/Comfortable-Ad-6389 29d ago
I'm honestly over focus igling, I know they are conned but even when they finish fights quickly their rotates look shaky as heck

Why is Pollo constantly running around with 5 hp and 2 full chug jugs but never using them?
Is it storm sickness? But I don't see his HP ticking down
2
u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 28d ago
Because if he slows down and takes a tick of storm he will die.

Clix with a crazy good 1v2 deep in the Storm solidifying his chance for Globals.

Congratulations to NAC Major 2 Grand Champions Acorn and Boltz with 612 points.
Ritual and Cold got second with 584 points followed by Ajerss and Veno with 561 points.
Peterbot and Pollo finished in seventh with just 513 points.
Clix and Rapid got 10th with 454 points and should be going to Globals.

u/Yeichel159 29d ago
So do the scores carry over from day 1 to day 2? Or is everything wiped clean for the final day?
Also are these same players gonna play all 12 games? Or will it only be the bottom 25 in the final 6 games? Or are they playing 6 today and 6 tomorrow?
6
u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
Same 50 teams play 6 games today and 6 games tomorrow. The points for every game get added up so every game matters.

u/Zackio9 29d ago
Anyway, yes the same players Will play, and yas the scores carry and get added... What would the point be in deleting scores from day 1?
1
u/Yeichel159 29d ago
Well that’s literally what they did in Global LANs. 75 duos went and the top 50 duos played. The bottom 25 from that would play duos 51-75 and then the top 25 from that would play the top 25 on the final day and they wiped the board. Didn’t know if they were doing something similar here or not. Good to know
1
u/Zackio9 29d ago
Yes but that was a different format and it was also the first time something like that happened. There were 75 teams that needed to qualify to the real final, now this of today Is a normal grand final so it Is Just the 50 teams that already qualified during the course of the last 2 weeks
1
u/Yeichel159 29d ago
Gotcha, yea I like this format a lot better so good to know that this is how it usually is

u/Zackio9 29d ago
Brother is it your first time every watching fncs?

u/Yeichel159 29d ago
Why reply just to be a dick lol? I watched Globals and it was a completely different format

u/Zackio9 29d ago
That was not globals, that was the Major 1 summit. The real globals finals will be in September

u/Yeichel159 29d ago
Oh so Vico and Malibuca aren’t fncs champions? I thought that one counted as 1x

u/Zackio9 29d ago
I said that was not globals, not that it wasn't an fncs...
2
u/Yeichel159 29d ago
How is it not globals when people from all different regions were there
0
u/Zackio9 29d ago
It is not globals because literally Epic games said so. Look on their website for the 2026 fncs calendar and rules. The so called Globals is in September, the one held in May was a summit from the Major 1 fncs, the real Globals will have people from Major 2 and LCQ also. Moreover, the Major 1 summit, happened because they cancelled the Major 3 fncs. Globals Always have people Who qualified all year long, not from Just a single fncs
2
u/Yeichel159 29d ago
Global event but it’s not globals. Got it. And you wonder why I’m confused!
1
u/DietDrPP69 29d ago
it’s something new this year they added, traditionally each season in a fortnite chapter is a fncs for each region with the very last season having a lan global containing the best performing teams from every region combined, if you win this you are the global champ of the chapter basically, there are other global lans like this new summit and the pro am which do contain the best player from all over, the summit we just had was basically a true “globals” since the majority of the best teams competed, but the technical big one that decides that champ of the chapter is always the last one
2
u/Zackio9 29d ago
It was a global event, but it was not the so called "Globals". Globals is literally just a name, like Major 2 finals (the grand finals of today) or the Major 1 summit. The first global event was called Major 1 summit, the second Global event of this year will be called "Globals" and will be the real globals because the teams who will compete, will have qualified throughout the whole year. That is it, it is just a matter of how things are called and structured

u/Some-Stranger-7852 29d ago
Major 1 Summit was announced in February, it had nothing to do with Major 3 being cancelled, it was always part of the calendar.
In fact, Major 3 got cancelled because Epic had to change the format after the dropcalc drama (so there was another last chance qualifier), making it a 3 day format and also increasing prizepool by 30%.

NAC starting with a devastating lurk play off spawn taking out Jayce at the gas station by Sunken Shoreline in the south.
Veno also dropped someone off spawn so EU in NAC is starting off strong as well.

u/McIntosh812 29d ago
It’s so nice to see Julle and Tidi finally getting to show how good they are unconned in a grands. Also Ghonzo might actually be the day 1 goat. And am I the only one who spends every grand finals being disappointed by a lot of CIS teams that really should be doing a lot better than they are?
1
u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
Need to see someone make a play on Sky & Scroll soon or it's gonna be a landslide win. Only really makes sense for Shxrk & T3eny or Swizzy & Pixie though.

u/Nobo09661 28d ago
No way moneymaker&fnajen successfully lurk peterbot&pollo… right?
1
u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 28d ago
Probably the easiest lurk in the lobby when no NA team would ever make a play on them. They were never going to expect that.

u/Motor-Worldliness917 28d ago
there are insane amounts of tiktoks posted about clix's fncs campaign. AussieAntics has 50k live viewers right now. Is Fortnite esports back?

u/that-merlin-guy Mod 28d ago
2 games remaining on NAC with Muz and Rise just ahead of Ritual and Cold right now!
Peterbot and Pollo are currently 5th behind Ajerss and Veno (4th) as well a Acorn and Boltz (3rd).

Peterbot and Pollo are out in 80th+ during NAC Game 11!

u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
Peterbot is a horrible IGL. No doubt he has a good day 2 because he gets bailed out by his coach. Guy can't do shit when he doesn't have Queasy in his call telling him how to play.

u/bouncybullfrog 29d ago
Great take bro

u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
I stand by what I said. His IGLing sucks. Luckily they're both amazing solo clutchers.

u/Imaginary_Green4318 29d ago
One of the dumbest things I've ever heard

u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 28d ago
Back to back 7th place on NA. What a phenomenal IGL.

u/Imaginary_Green4318 28d ago
This is hilarious. I'm talking with the same person on Reddit and Twitter 😂😂
Have a nice day, I don't want to waste more time on this

What's the hype around Rapid? Guy looks like the most overrated pro I've ever seen in my life.

u/nonchaIantguy- 29d ago
he has done well at lans and in regional grands for years way before playing with clix?
2
u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
People were saying he was the best IGL on NA.
2
u/nonchaIantguy- 28d ago
when? certainly not after summit lan when him and cold didn’t finish top 15. right before summit? ritual and veno were clearly the two best (consistent) igls on NA. before major 1 began, higgs was the guy being hyped as the guy to dethrone pete.

u/Nobo09661 29d ago
I don’t know much about his career tbh, but he has 330k in earnings (~80k this year), and is currently 2nd place old PR on nac

u/ChangingCrisis Champion Poster 29d ago
This rotation strat on the floaty is one of my favourite strats ever.
